OSRS Gold Projekt's description within the adventure:Step again in to the shoes of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer, now hired to defeat a ruthless bandit captain, Olgierd von Everec, a guy who possesses the potency of immortality. The expansion enables you to choose your own way having an adventure including recruiting a crew of breakin artists, spending nighttime partying utilizing a ghost and outsmarting probably the most bizarre creatures Geralt has ever faced.
The developer previously says Geralt will likely be hired using the Man of Glass, a mysterious figure that you encountered briefly within the main campaign. We also realize that the quests will require us to Velen and Oxenfurt.Hearts of Stone's new storyline can offer players "over 10 hours" of entertainment. Like the base game, the story will likely be driven by player choice. The news release also mentions "unique romance," climax unclear whether they're referring to a brandnew love interest or perhaps an extension within the existing romances within the game.
The expansion will add a brand new strategic element for that mix too: Runewords. Each Runeword affects the ingame mechanics for whatever reason, even though it isn't clear how. CD Projekt merely says that they will "allow players to try out various strategies and tactics."CD Projekt's community manager Marcin Momot confirmed on Twitter the expansion may be played during or carrying out a campaign. The quests are level 30, though. They'll scale up if you are playing New Game Plus mode.
